This is an admission that (1) they probably misjudged the appeal of the franchise and (2) building copies of attractions is really cheaper (and less risky) than inventing something new.

Tron Legacy made $44M it's opening weekend and went on to gross $172M so maybe it was out five or six weeks before it disappeared into oblivion. For reference, this year's The Meg opened with $45M and only raked in $132M to date. If we still had DVDs or VHS tapes then both would likely be in the bargain bin. I never really "got" Tron either, but the attraction got rave reviews in China...right? If it's more fun than Stitch's Great Escape then I'm in!
